I worried my parents might think I’m just doing it to be trendy or something because I happened to start questioning around the time my brother started seeing a trans person. Except… I didn’t know that at the very early stages of question.

Because my parents are lesbians, sometimes the gatherings at my parent’s place often turn into primarily queer gatherings (but usually only representation for the L). Although I’d be the first in our family to come out specifically as trans AFAIK. My parents have been cool role models for the lesbians in their families, so I guess trying to be the same on the genderqueer side of the rainbow could be a motivation to come out.

Part of the reason I worry my mom might think its just a trend is I could see her falling into the “if trans people are right, then everyone would be trans” because of projecting her own affinity for presenting as and being seen as a guy. OTOH, I think her own rejection of femininity makes it less likely that and more likely “how could someone want that?”
